Presubmbly you'd still have WMPTE & it's successors operating into Cannock regulary too?

[Discodave]

no NXWM abondoned cannock ages ago

[Bob]

yea but had we been part of the WM in the 70s midland red wouldnt have moved into Cannock, rest is history...

[Bob]

NXWM still operate the stupid oclock X51s into Cannock, although theres no timetable for it at the bus station! i always wonder why theyve hung on to this 3 journeys a day..

[Discodave]

I was told they were subsidised but I doubt that though

[Bob]

no i think theyre run commercial but not 100%

i think its just on the 1 route. that & the 25/6 must be one of only a handful of Cannock services that make a decent profit. oh and the Staffords. Any more news on whether its gonna get deckers?
